No visit to the New York City area is complete without a trip to two of the world's most famous historical landmarks - The Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island. Did you know that The Statue of Liberty is right at our doorstep! It’s only 2,000 feet (610 m) from Jersey City & over two miles (3 km) from NYC with no lines on the Jersey City side. You board the ferry just outside the historic Central Railroad Terminal in Liberty State Park, where nearly two-thirds of the twelve million immigrants who entered this country through Ellis Island departed for their new homes.

Statue Cruises also offers New York Harbor Cruises, Private Charters, Special Event Cruises as well as Commuter Ferry Services from Liberty Landing Marina.
